CME lean hog futures closed higher for a third straight session on expectations that African swine fever in China would increase Chinese pork imports. USDA data showed China bought over 77,700 tonnes of US pork in the latest week, and Rabobank forecast up to 200 million Chinese pigs could be culled or die.
A large loss of Chinese hogs would sharply increase demand for imported pork, supporting US hog prices, though possible Canadian retaliatory tariffs are a bearish risk.
